With a long-standing tradition, this department has been using E-ONE apparatus for many years. Today, they maintain an E-ONE quint, three E-ONE engines, and two E-ONE ambulances. Over the past decade, the department has gradually transitioned from its original lime green color scheme with white roofs to a more traditional red. Only two vehicles still retain their original look, serving as a nostalgic reminder of the district's history.
